Your Quick Review
Pros:
It has a really cool theme! I like it a lot. The background has a lot in it although it loads fast and looks great. It is a coat for the forum if you will. I think Mybb is the best software you can use for this type of forum, it is clean and easy to use and can help people new to forums better understand how a forum software works on the user side of it.
The name is effective. DBZ Host. It brings Dragon Ball Z and Webhosting into one, even though it is not the best combination for the forum, it is really nice and crafty. Oh and unique too
😉
I like the fact that you have a bigger off topic discussion on the board. Most boards force you to talk about their main theme of the forum while some people may be a dedicated member on the forum just for the off topic areas. It doesn't make you look bad, it makes you look like you know how to run a forum. I am really liking the logo. It is smooth and fits right in with the theme, it has not any real dominant colors in the logo and fits with the background and overall site colors. It also has nice anime figures in it too.
You have pretty good activity stats for a board your age, like a week and you have half a thousand posts. Most of them real members posting, it is not all the admin's posts. Something is sucking those members in, try and capitalize on that.
Cons:
I don't like the fact that you are Anime and Webhosting in one. You are way more anime then you are webhosting. You have only one forum regarding hosting and that is support. This is the forum for a hosting company, not a real anime forum. If you want a anime forum, make it a network site. Get hosting for it, make it, and in the footer or somewhere say it is hosted by DBZ Host. That way it is sort of shared traffic and you get to focus more on the hosting side of things and look more professional than it looks now.
Im not a big fan of the moving affiliates. Someone can take your code and add it without telling you, who knows what site they add it on. It could be Porn Central or it could be the official Dragon Ball Z forum. That is the scary thing about that type of code advertising. The moving part of it is annoying too. You need to catch up to the image to click on it, I would slow it down a bit, hunting for an affiliate is actually really hard.
You have too many subforums for Anime. I would make an anime general discussion, and then a Anime TV Forum to talk about anime on TV. Too many subforums make it hard to post things and hard to find the content that some people may be looking for.
Final/General Thoughts:
I think you focused too hard on the theme rather than the fact that the theme is for a forum. You should have equal reactions to every action you make on the forum. It looks good, but the content is suffering.
What was most liked about the website/forums:
The cool theme
What was disliked most about the website/forums:
It is more Anime than Hosting
Final Score : Score - 5 (Out of 10)
